Hi guys I'm new to this forum I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last September, thought I was handling it well but it's sort of got the best of me at the moment. I get really bad lower back pain when doing little things like dishes and then get tired and have to go for a nap halfway through the day it's making it really hard to deal with and got a bit depressed because of it. Just after suggestions on what things people recommend to help combat these symptoms? I've heard massages can help some people? any recommendations weather it be medication (pharmacy or natural) or exercises any suggestions welcome please 🙂

    it takes time to learn new limits with fibro. in my experience stay in shape . important to continue to eat good meals and stay away from sugars/carbs eating to much will add to pain and swelling. stay strong keep your core strong and respect you limitations. you will be in a good place to manage fibro.
